This course covers the respiratory system from all aspects of its anatomic and histologic structure, as well as physiological functions of the respiratory system. It also covers the various pathological conditions and their histopathological appearances. The course also covers the most common microbiological agents affecting the system. The drugs acting on the respiratory system are also discussed with emphasis on their uses and side effects. The course is accompanied by a short introduction to the clinical presentation of the patient with a respiratory disease. 19. Course aims and outcomes: Aim: The aim of this course at this level of medical education is to introduce the medical student to the basic structure and function of the respiratory system, how it is affected by disease, and how drugs can modify these disease states, together with a glimpse of the clinical presentation of these diseases. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): By the end of the Respiratory course; the student should be able to : 1. Describe the gross anatomy of organs of the respiratory system including Structure, anatomic relations, and vascular and nerve supply. 2. Describe the microscopic anatomy of organs of the respiratory system light microscopic and electron microscopic techniques. 3. Recognize the embryonic development of organs of the respiratory system including possible congenital malformations. 4. Recognize the mechanics of breathing (lung ventilation), lung compliance, airway resistance, ventilation-perfusion relationship, gas exchange and transport, regulation of ventilation, pulmonary function test and brief clinical application to pathophysiology (lung diseases) 5. List diseases that affect the respiratory system, including: pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestation, and microscopic histological changes. 6. List causes, mode of transmission, and pathogenesis of respiratory tract infections. 7. Describe methods of specimen collection and diagnosis of respiratory tract infections. 8. Mention drugs used in the treatment of diseases that affect the respiratory system and their most common side effects. 9. List Signs and symptoms of the respiratory system: their mechanisms and correlation. 10. Take history and perform general examination including the chest (inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation). 2
